The best restaurants in Scotland

I dropped by the pub to drink a pint of Tennent's. There are many Celtics fans.

Really good freshly cooked food and very attentive staff. The portions were generous and very tasty. The restaurant was comfortable without intrusive music

Delicious food, great prices for such fresh food. Really friendly staff. 100% recommend popping in here for a coffee and bite to eat.

Best fish n chips in the town!!!

My wife and I visited while in Melrose. We did not eat or have coffee but loved the selection of wines on offer, and left with an interesting bottle of Austrian red. Service was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. A brilliant find.

From the minute you step through the door you’re at ease with the ambiance of the place and friendliness of the staff. When booking let them know of any dietary requirements as the choices are unbelievably wonderful. I’m GF and DF and enjoyed every mouthful and of course a couple of cocktails 🍸 doesn’t hurt 🥰 will be back very soon x

Joanna served 5* service us alongside manager Jake. Both lovely. food was great. Definitely recommend. Will come back

Portion was generous! Took a while to cook. We sat at the park nearby to enjoy, great view and memorable experience

We were staying at Links House for a couple of nights and had our wedding anniversary dinner in Mara. The service from the moment you enter till you leave is simply superb and really does enhance the experience. The food was delicious and we had difficulty in choosing what to have as all seemed so appealing. I appreciate previous comments about the cost but it's not really 3 courses you are getting when you consider the tasters etc and the quality is first class We will be back.

Good range of snacks and bar food. Food was tasty. The Aura was very quiet and lacked atmosphere. It also is in need of some refurbishment as some of the upholstery on the seats was ripped and not appealing.

5 out of 5 for the food - we tried the massaman curry and noodle soup, and couldn't fault either. You should be aware the restaurant isn't licensed, so you need to bring any alcohol you want to drink (and I guess they charge corkage) - fine for us, as we don't drink, and there were soft drink options. The reason I've given this 4 out of 5 is because of the booking system - there's an online booking system, which indicates you're making an actual booking, but you get an automated email back saying that it's not a booking and the restaurant will confirm, which they didn't. We decided to turn up anyway at our requested time and there were spaces, but didn't get the impression they had our booking. Food was worth it though.

Tom went way and beyond to get me the food I wanted today and it was served perfectly hot and quickly also my hot chocolate was delicious

Brilliant experience all round. Beautiful 'carriage' and great food. Lightest of sponges and scones. Very pleasant and efficient service too.

Before walking to the Fairy Glen Falls, I visited Crofter's for some tea and cake. A good choice of cake, and really nice too, views out to sea, and a pleasant seating area outside. I sat inside, but as other recent reviews have suggested, service didn't feel particularly friendly, particularly from the staff member initially showing people to their seats. Hopefully this is something they can fix as, otherwise, it was ideal!

Awful customer service very rude staff to the point we left before we ordered. Says 5 star on poster but this really isn’t true, do not recommend.
